Hi everyone, I've been a member of this forum for a while but I just recently picked up a pretty well put together 1967 Camaro which I plan on slowly but surely converting into a pro-touring beast and I'm sure that, in that process, I'm going to run into some issues and/or questions that will require the knowledge of some folks that are much more educated than me in this field. Plus, hey, it's just fun to shoot the sh*t with other enthusiasts... My first car was a '68 Camaro with a 327 and powerglide and, ever since it went away about 13 years ago, I've dreamed of owning another. Well, that time has finally arrived! Furthermore, I used to work for Fikse Wheels and, if you had any contact with that company from 2007-2012, you likely spoke with me - I was the go-to pro-touring guy there for some time, which also had a hand in driving my desire to do this project, and I used to spend a lot of time on this forum talking and working with a number of you. That said, I look forward to sharing my endeavor and reading about all of yours'!
About the car, it's an original V8, 4-speed '67 (definitely not numbers matching) with a moderately built 383 stroker, M21 4-speed and 12-bolt rear with 4.11 gears. Paint and interior are all new within the past two years and in great shape. I just put a set of Boss 338s on it in an 18 X 8.0" front, 18 X 9.5" rear with 235/40R18 and 275/35R18 Nitto NT05 tires. Their no Fikses or Forgelines but they look good enough for now and I'm saving that kind of upgrade for post mini-tub... Which won't happen for a while. That's really about it, from a high level view.
Looking forward to getting to know you all, and reconnecting with those of you with whom I used to work! :cheers:
Here are a couple of photos of my new toy:
